The Bollinger style is always rich, food friendly and impressive. This wine is all of those things, with power and intensity of flavor along with ripe fruit, a layer of toastiness and a dry aftertaste. This is a style of wine that can take even more bottle aging. Imported by Paterno Wines International.

The Rothschild's flagship cuvée exudes a bouquet of cut pear, almonds and fresh hazelnuts, married to hints of white flowers and warm buttermilk biscuit. The style reflects a complex assemblage (blend) of 60% Chardonnay, drawn primarily Grands Crus in the Cote des Blancs, and 40% Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, drawn mainly from vineyards in Verzenay, Ay, Mareuil-sur-Ay and Bouzy. This blend includes 40% older reserve wines, a mark of exceptional quality and consistency that the Rothschild team has established for this cuvée.

With an unusually high portion of Chardonnay for a Rosé, this simply must be one of the most refined Rosés available. Brilliant salmon in color with pale pink highlights, this opens with red berry and citrus aromas, followed on the palate by melting flavors of light raspberry, strawberry and a hint of Corton-like minerality. Finishes quite crisp and dry. This Rose is a blend of over 85% Chardonnay from the main Cote des Blanc crus of Avize, Cramant, Mesnil-sur-Oger, and Vertus, with the exceptional Pinots Noirs of the Montagne de Reims, including a small percentage (5 to 6%) vinified as a red wine. The blend contains 40% reserve wine.
